Not all the new features are going to cost you. The extensive quality of life improvements that are due to drop will introduce squad stances across old and new battlefronts. This includes new maps, a bunch of balance and better battlefield management systems. These should provide better nuance to how troops handle engagements and mean less wandering off and general micromanagement. The new stances include the ‘Engage’ stance and ‘Hold’ stance. Engage will allow units to automatically attack units within range, retreating to their position once the enemy has been dispatched, whilst the Hold stance fixes units to their position in a more defensive manner, ignoring engagements.
